I think each year fans expect that the stars from the World Junior Championship are a lock on jobs in the NHL. Well that's not the case. While some go one to become NHL regular and in some cases stars, the remainder are a bust at the professional level. Here are 15 years of All Star teams coming out of the WJC. You don't expect every European to play in the NHL but a number of Canadians and Americans never made it (Al Montoya, Luc Bourdon, Christian Dubé, Brian Bouchard):
